I don't know where this term has gone! I have barely done any sewing or craft at all. There has been some op shopping of course- I thought I needed some wardrobe updates ( and haven't had time to sew!) and found some summery tops, including this sweet green crochet cardi.
Except that there are several thousand tiny sparkly beads on it! I have a bit of unpicking still to do before I can wear it...
Dropped in at Glenroy Salvos on my way past today and spotted a pile of Burda sewing pattern (actually I spotted another woman looking through the patterns, which alerted me to them!). There were heaps, all brand new. Plus a couple of other brands. Quite a few " young" style and several vintage look patterns too. I may have bought a couple of them...
Tigerboy spotted this awesome steampunk mask in a party shop recently, but I wasn't going to pay $40 for a bit of plastic that may only get used once! Luckily there was a craft shop just around the corner, where we found a plain white cardboard mask and a roll of plaster bandage for about $4 each.
A rummage through the shed and my craft supplies yielded an assortment of interesting bits and pieces. Gold glue gun glue ( I knew that would come in handy one day!), some black and gold paint and a couple of hours' creating - I think it looks as good as the bought one!
